FOR GOVERNOR IN 1S72,

Washington C. Be Pauw,

OF FLOTO COFNTT.

MONDAY, JANUARY 8, 1872.

The Humaston TS. McGregor Case. We said in a previous article tbat Judge Pettit came to this city to try two cases—Humaston vs. McGregor aud lioekridge vs. Hudson. In the first case the plaintifl had nothing to lose if defeated, and in the second place the plaintiff got something for nothing, ifsuccessful. The Humaston case was first called for trial, and it soon became apparent the plaintiff'liad no sufficient cause of action. The parlies to the suit were sworn and testified, and the court adjourned for dinner. On re-assembling the plaintiffs attorneys attempted to break, thus early in the action, the panel of jurors, by filing affidavits against some, of them. Those affidavits were answered by counter ones, and the Judge held there was no sufficient reason for "calling other jurors to the box. The attorneys for the plaintiff then dismissed their case, with the avowed determination of commencing it again.

Thus this case, which has created so much gossip which was commenced against one of our oldest, most respected, most honorable and wealthiest citizens had no bottom to it, and at the very first lick made at it by the defendant, fell into disjointed fragments. The question then suggests itself, why was such a case ever brought into our courts? This question may be somewhat difficult to answer, but there are some circumstances connected with its beginning and prosecution, which, to say the least, look suspicious. This suit was commenced some eighteen months or two years ago, but before the papers were filed one of the attorneys in the case addressed a note to Mr. McGregor to call at his office as he desired to see him 011 important business. Mr. McG. did so, and was then informed that a case for breach of marriage contract would be brought against him, but could yet be compromised and settled. This lawyer, one of the firm who commenced the suit, at that time asserted that he could not then fix the amount they would take to compromise, but would let the defendant known what it would be in a short time. In a few days afterward Mr. McGregor called again, aud was informed by this same lawyer that on the payment of$5,000 no suit would be commenced. The proposition was indignantly refused, buta promise secured that no action would be commenced, and 110 notoriety given to the matter until Mr. McGregor was seen again. Before Mr. McG. had an opportunity of seeing this same lawyer again the papers were filed in the Clerk's office and service had on him.

We simply give the above facts to show the process by which this vexatious and unfortunate suit was commenced. We here ask, why was this large sum of $5,000 demanded in satis factio* of a contemplated suit, which when brought 011 for trial before a com petent court and an unprejudiced and unpacked jury, was shown to have not one particle of merit in it, and was dismissed by the plaintiff's attorneys, even before the evidence on part of the defeuce, was one quarter exhausted The question can only be satisfactory an swered on one of the four following hypotheses: 1. The firm bringing this suit did not understand the law governing such cases. 2. They did not understand the facts on their side of the case, suflicent to make out a cause in law. 3. If they did understand the law, and were familiar with all the facts on their side of the case, theu they hoped to succeed by deceiving the Judge as to what the law is, or packing a jury in their favor, or so deceiving it as to the facts, that their client would, let the law and facts be as they might, with almost a positive certainty, receive a verdict. Or lastly, by extorting from one of our oldest, most respected and honorable fellow-citizens, a large amount of money as a considcra Hon that the matter icould be hushed up.

We can imagine for this firm, no other excuse for advisiug the pi:-, in tiff to commence such an unfortunate suit, But one of the four mentioned above. A suit belonging to class which certainly can add nothing to tlic character of any women, but is calculated to do her much injury, and always of the most perplexing and unpleasaut character to the defendant. A suit which ought never to be brought, except where there has been evident intention on part of the man to damage, or in some way injure the fair fame of the woman. In this case, there is even no pretence of such a thing. Not the remotest effort to prove the defendant ever, in the least way possible, by word, act or deed injured the reputation of the plaintiff. Then why this action, and why this demand of $5,000 for its settlement, which, when brought before an able Judge and honest jury, did not stand up long enough to be knocked over by its adversary, but fell lifeless, and went out of court by the action of its own friends.

This very attorney who wrote this note to Mr. McGregor, who endeavored to extort this $5,000 from him on a compromise who also agreed the suit should not be commenced until the defendant was seen in relation to it, but before that did commence it, has, on other occasions and in reference to other suits, made his

jboasts on our streets that certain parties

'.sum

u...

had been defeated in their causes, and were not aware of the "trick by which 'At was done.11 Are the rights of our citizens settled in our courts by the "tricks" of pettifogging lawyers? Has it come to this, that the mere legal trickster, one "when a client come3 to him for counsel, shows him a trick," can succeed in our. courts against the merit, the facts aud the law in the case? We are painfully impressed with the opinion that the period has really arrived in the history of our jurisprudence when such things can and have been done.

We write this article not willingly, but as a journalist we feel it our duty to do so. If the press of the country remains silent, and permits such practicing lawyers to obtain power and influence in our courts of law and justice, with what hope can the citizen expect to have his rights protected, and the title to his property secured? When the fountains of the law are obscured by the overshadowing influence of corrupt men, who dexterously practice their arts of legal jugglery to a successful termination, is it possible that right and justice backed and supported by the law of the land, can be with certainty secured to any person who unfortunately is driven into ourcourts? No greater misfortune .can befall a country or a people. A citizen's reputation, which, perhaps, has taken a lifetime to secure, in the hands of such attorneys is as the smoke on the still air, to be blown away forever, at pleasure. Unaccustomed to the rules and practices of courts, the honest litigant is at once circumvented falls without knowing it within the trap set for him is judicially robbed of his rights thrown out of court harrassed with large bills of costs, and always remains in confessed ignorance of the "trick by which it was done."

We shall in a few days continue this subject further, and as the other case for which Judge Pettit was called here to try, presents points of peculiar interest, we shall review some circumstances connected with it, and show what these two "put up" cases have now, and in all probability will cost the treasury of this county.

THE death of James Fisk, a full account of which will be found in our dispatches, is the subject of much comment on our streets and everywhere else. That he was a most remarkable man, all concede. He was the full-fledged, perfectly devoloped embodiment of Young America. In him the young rascals had grown to manhood, and defied the rest of mankind. When he asserted he thought of changing the name of the city of New York to that of Fiskville, he only gave an inkling of what he was willing to undertake. But "Jim. Fisk, Jr.," alive, and James Fisk dead, are two different persons. If he had faults, let them be buried with them. That he had great qualities no one can dispute. While we thinks perhaps his life has been of no good to the world, the manner ofliis "takingoff was most cowardly aud inexcusable.

WE understand from Attorney General Hanna that the cases of the State against Kimball and McCarty, which seems now to be out of court by demurrer, will once be taken to the Supreme Court of the State, aud he has great faith the su perior court will so reverse the opinion of the court below, that those men will yet be put on their trial before a jury of the country, and that in a very short time too. The people want a fair, lion est and impartial trial of these men.

TJTE two communications on our table in relation to the Southwestern Railroad will appear in our columns as soon as can possibly find room for them.

It must be borne in mind that the rapid gain in some of the recent slave States is on accountof emancipation—all classes being now represented instead of but three-fifths of the former slaves added to the free population. The actual gain of numbers has been small in mostof the former slave States, while Virginia has

actually lost, not only in representative, but in actual potation. This is ac-, counted for by the'organization of West Virginia. New Hampshire and Maine show losses, while Vermont exhibits the smallest increase. Kansas makes the largest gain, Minnesota the second largest and Iowa the third.

THE Fort Wayne Gazette, in a sensible and well considered article, makes an excellent suggestion in regard to the selection of delegates to the State Republican Convention. It urges county conventions to take pains to select men of probity and intelligence, who have no political axes to grind, but who will be most likely to act with strict reference to the good of the party and its success in 1872.

To those who are Bowed Down by Nervous Debility, and despair of ever recovering the vigor and mien of manhood we earnestly recommend Dr. Walker's California Vinegar Bitters. Before they have finished the first bottle, they will feel the restorative principle at work in every portion of their broken-down systems and hope will spring up in their hearts. No case of Dyspepsia, Biliousness, Intermittent Fever, Rheumatism, Gout or Kidney disease, can resist this unequaled vegetable tonic which is unpolluted by any distilled or fermented liquor. 8dw4w

A HAPPY NEW YEAR

TO YOU ALL!

The 01(1 Year, with its pleasures and cares, its strug

gles and its triumphs, has joined the ages of the years that are past. It was a year of

bright promise to us, and it has not left its pledges unfulfilled. Our highest anticipa

tions have been more than realized, and we have been enabled to plant our flag higher upon the battlements of the enemy than ever before. We trust it has treated with

equal kindness all of the many thousands of our customers whom we wished a happy

a double portion of joy in the year to come.

New Year a year ago to-day. If to some it has not been thus gracious, we ask for them

To-day, then, we Bring you Glad Greeting!

A new year opens upon us fresh duties beckon us forward new opportunities are

arising, and greater achievements must be accomplished. We are no longer strangers

to each other. The clear, untarnished record of nearly two years is before you, and

in its light you have been kind enough to judge us. We start to-day upon the New

Year with fairer prospects for the future than ever before. We have lived down the

slanders of our enemies, and have forced some of them to admit the monstrous false

hoods they have uttered against us. We have gained the confidence and support of a

larger constituency of customers than has ever been secured by any other retail Dry

Goods establishment in Western Indiana. Our sales now equal if in fact they do not

largely exceed the combined sales of any two of our competitors, and yet the year up

on which we haVe just entered must witness still greater achieyements won by us over

the ruinous old-fashioned credit credit system of the High-priced Siores.
